Traditional Dutch (Province of Limburg) fruit pie

GoodWatch · 2023-03-19

I made it with fresh plums, kiwi, banana and grapes. The pie case is made of a sweet, bread like dough. because of the fruit I sprinkled the bottom with panko (bread crumbs). These are mostly without a lid so open and are called 'vlaai'.

Looks delicious, and I’m sure it is…or will be. You’ve obviously got a lot of skill in the kitchen.

😊😄Well if you are going to gain weight than this is the way to do it sir ! 😊
Seriously, it looks amazing from here, and you, or we can imagine that
every bite is like heaven. It's great too because you ARE eating fruit, 😉
So that has to make you feel good, or at least a little better about eating
this decadent culinary wonder.

Between the terrific fruits and then the
incredible crust, you have a the perfect blend of sweet, rustic and honestly
remarkable here sir. And once again, I just love seeing you doing this as
well as literally being a pro at it !

From this side of things it feels like you are a professional baker or cook
to tell the truth. Seriously, I keep thinking about how hard all of these must
be to make, but you keep making them. It's fantastic !!! ..I cannot thank you
enough for bringing us into your kitchen !!!

@GoodWatch Thank you for sharing. Dutch cuisine is unknown to me. I'm taking an interest in it as I type.

According to 'Foodies', Dutch cuisine as such is non-existent. In the 1984 'The official Foodie handbook', Dutch cuisine is described as "TAP" (Take a Picnic). There is a basic Dutch cuisine but this stems from the 17th century on, until the mid 19th century. This was closely tied to the circumstances back then. Everything was done by manual labour and conditions were harsh and Winters long and cold. This meant that dishes mainly consisted out of heavy and hearty soups like pea soup and meals like mashed potatoes and vegetables with some meat and gravy. Bread, milk, cheese and butter also were staple foods. So completely devoid of any refinement.

That changed when the influence by dishes from our former colonies grew steadily and travels brought new spices, fruits and vegetables to The Netherlands. So modern Dutch cuisine is heavily influenced by the international cuisine. Rotterdam now hosts seven one star- and three two Michelin star restaurants. One of them once even had three stars but after the previous patron-cuisinier left, they were stripped of all the stars and had to start all over again.
